WHAT IS THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT?
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, developed by CD Projekt Red, is a fantasy role-playing game (RPG) steeped in European folklore. You play as Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher (monster hunter) who’s searching for his missing adopted daughter in a war-torn world. This universally lauded game has an expansive world and is renowned for its narrative depth, character development, and player choice affecting the game’s narrative outcomes.
HOW IT WORKS / HOW TO GET STARTED
Playing Witcher 3 essentially involves undertaking quests, battling monsters and human opponents, and making choices that influence the fate of Geralt and the world around him. Here are some steps to get started:
1. Start by selecting your difficulty level. For beginners, “Just the Story” is recommended.
2. Your training will begin at Kaer Morhen where you learn the game’s basic controls.
3. Explore and engage in combat gradually. Try taking up the early side quests to gain experience and learn the ropes before the more challenging fights.
4. While navigating through the game, you’ll encounter story quests, side quests, and Witcher contracts, providing various ways to improve Geralt’s skills and equipment.
LO QUE NECESITAS PARA JUGAR
All you need is a copy of the game, available on several platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. A system with a good graphic resolution enhances game imagery but isn’t required. Developers also released two amazing expansion packs—Hearts of Stone, and Blood and Wine—that offer additional content, but these aren’t necessary for starters.
